Lorde On Calling Her Celeb Idol About Working On The Mockingjay Soundtrack

Lorde may have sold over 1.5 million records and won two Grammys, but at the end of the day she's still a regular 17-year-old girl who totally gets nervous about meeting her fave celebs. When Lorde was given the task of curating the Mockingjay soundtrack, there were tons of artists she dreamed of working with—her number one being her "idol" Kanye West.

Kendall and Kylie's brother-in-law Kanye has admitted to being a Lorde fan in the past, but the singer was still nervous about asking the rapper to work with her on the soundtrack. Lorde talked about her awkward phone call to Kanye, telling Billboard, "I'm the worst person ever at talking to people I don't know on the phone—I can't even order pizza. I would put off calling him. I'd say, it's 12:57, I'll do it at 1."
